Stationary, Pen, Ink Bottle - Mother's Day 2012 Gifts Idea

Mother’s usually stays-at-home and thus would include plenty of time when sit idly at a beautiful desk and become the kind of correspondent. It would be great to surround your mom with beautiful stationery and gorgeous pens and bottles of ink and thus she can write thank you letters and invitations to afternoon tea. Most (er, all) of that scenario didn’t actually happen, but the kind of stationery produced by some shops still awakes a kind of cheerful longing to all. You can find beautiful journals for just about every hobby or activity you might like to make a list about.

6. A Book

All time favorite kind of gift is the kind we can pour over with a cup of tea for days and days to come, so a book is always right up the alley, but choose something that attracts you mom, like the crafty goodness of Pip Lincolne and if your mom is someone who likes to make stuff (of all kinds) this is just the kind of book which will keep you occupied for hours. ‘Make Hey While the Sun Shines’ and Lincolne’s other books could be the right choice, but you can find many more in a book store near you.

7. Placemats

A set of six lovely manners placemats won’t take care of all your table manners training, but they may help you see the lighter side as you encourage your family to sit still again and again. Choose something in orange, silver or blue colour combinations, they not only show the correct spots for cutlery and glassware, but each one also includes points of etiquette “for polite people of all ages”. We think they’re a hoot, and extra fun to get out when your parents come over. A set of six placemats wont be cost much.

8. A Locket

It also happens to be a classically beautiful piece of jewelry. The idea of a locket itself is perfect for Mother’s Day because it’s sentimental, very personal and has an old-fashioned quality that’s quite charming.

Sure, chocolates are a predictable gift, but for the best reason: there’s almost nothing better.

Who says your golden years can’t be the sweetest?

10. Pouch or Sachets

Is your mom or grandmother have glasses of some sort? If so, this is the gift for her. Glass pouch cases are always been a big hit.
